If you had to pick five, and only five third-party iPhone
apps, what would they be? These can be from AppStore or CydiaStore
whatever, it doesn't matter. Just five apps, and why.

My Five:

MyWi

I use MyWi all the time! It's an Internet tethering app from Cydia
that allows you to share your phones 3G with other devices. It's great
for laptops if you want to use wifi, and great for desktops because
you can tether through the USB cable also. This is what we use at my
house for all of our Internet needs. Speedtest.net always ranks us in the
high 3mbps. Which is good enough to watch netflix, and get a torrent
going on the side.

Netflix

Ever since the Netflix app was released, all productivity stopped.
Seriously, it's amazing to be able to watch your whole instant queue
whenever you want. Why would you even need to sync movies to your
iPod? Tv shows maybe? Which brings me to...

Hulu+

For shows you can't find on Netflix, try Hulu! With the plus
subscription you get access to everything Hulu has to offer. Yes the
ads are annoying, but think of all the shows you can watch!

Words With Friends

This one isn't really a recommendation to everyone, unless you really like Scrabble. This has just grown on me the past few months and now I'm addicted.

Carcassonne

A game I had never heard of before, and one day my brother-in-law gifted this to my wife and I. We tried it out, and didn't know what the heck was going on. As we figured it out, it quickly became one of our favorite games. Not only is a challenge mentally, but it looks great! It was one of the first apps we had with full retina display support. It looks fantastic! Greatly addictive.

So, those are my five. Please share which apps you can't live without!
